The Grand

The Grand and local Wilmington eatery Chelsea Tavern are proud to present a delicious partnership sure to leave your mouth watering - Chelsea at The Grand! Beginning with the 2010-11 season, The Grand will offer select concession items during shows courtesy of Chelsea Tavern's creative talents!

New items include gourmet soft pretzel sticks (including plain, and a special chocolate-filled version), fruit and cheese platters, sandwiches (including a delectable cream cheese and green onion vegetarian option), and some of the most indulgent brownies and blondies you've ever tasted. And that's only the beginning!

The new items will add a tasty touch of sophistication to The Grand's already-diverse concession offerings, promises Chelsea Tavern owner Scott Morrison, who, in addition to the revamped show concessions, also plans on providing catering for pre-show cocktail and VIP parties tied to special Grand events, as well as rental and other free-standing events.

"The Grand is really the nucleus of the downtown area," Morrison says. "The idea of the partnership between The Grand and Chelsea Tavern is to change people's perceptions about downtown Wilmington - to exceed patrons' expectations and create a place where people want to come. And the best way to affect change is to be a part of it on a ground level."

Chelsea Tavern is an urban tavern located in the heart of Wilmington featuring 20 craft brews on tap, along with a daily Cask Conditioned Specialty Beer. Executive Chef Sean McNeice delivers with a beer and wine-friendly menu built for sharing. Featuring everything from tuna carpaccio to beer-battered pickle wedges and grilled pound cake, Chelsea Tavern is "the kind of place where you can make a meal out of just the snacks and brews," according to Delaware Metromix, where "the flavors are fresh and the beers are flowing."
